The official Powerball lottery website is reporting on one of the summer’s lucky winners:
“The Florida Lottery announces that Orencia Barzey, 37, of Lauderhill, claimed the $80 million jackpot prize for the POWERBALL drawing held on Saturday, June 20, 2015. Barzey chose to receive the winnings as a one-time, lump-sum payment of $49,566,294.92.
"’I was very shocked when I checked the Lottery's website and the numbers on my ticket matched what was on the screen,’ said Barzey.’I don't plan on changing much about my lifestyle, but I do plan on helping my family with my winnings."
“The jackpot-winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased from Best Value Food Store, located at 1040 Northwest 47th Avenue in Plantation. The retailer will receive $40,000 for selling the jackpot-winning ticket.”
The Powerball site is also urging players to play responsible:
“Lottery games are just that -- games. Lottery games are designed to be enjoyable entertainment for adults, and for the vast majority of lottery players, that's exactly what they are. Multi-State Lottery members sell lottery tickets for the benefits of their citizens, raising millions of dollars for worthy causes and projects.
“The Multi-State Lottery Association encourages all lottery players to be responsible in their amount of play. Never spend more than you can afford on any lottery product. Please remember, it's just a game.”
